Hailtana

Hailtana is a term that can refer to a few different things, primarily a specific type of plant and a geographical location. In botany, Hailtana is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae, which is the daisy family. Plants in this genus are typically found in the Andes region of South America. They are characterized by their small, often daisy-like flowers, and their adaptability to high-altitude environments.
